Quick Read:
- Australia is the country most addicted to AI, with over 5M recorded uses of AI per 100K residents.
- Europeans are the most reliant on AI, with five countries averaging 3.5M annual AI platform visits per person.
- The United States has the highest AI tool usage rate, with services people use directly making up 20% of all AI activity in the country.
Every year, reliance on AI continues to grow, and in 2025, global AI use rose by 20%, reflecting an increasing dependence on these technologies.
A new study by Eskimoz, a decentralized crypto exchange company, set out to identify the countries most addicted to AI.
The research evaluated three AI activity-related factors, including the total visits to AI-themed websites and applications, traffic per 100K residents, as well as how often people use AI tools.
Looking at traffic per capita ensured a fair comparison between the countries, which were ranked in descending order by platform and website visits per capita.
Here is the summary of the findings:

Australia is the country most addicted to AI, registering over 5M visits to AI platforms per capita (100K residents). In total, Australians use AI 1.35 billion times a year, with nearly 2% of that traffic going to AI tools, including chatbots and content generators.
The Netherlands follows closely in second place, with just under 5M people engaging with AI services per capita, about 5K fewer than Australia. Overall, people in the country turn to AI over 917M times, with AI tools making up just over 1% of that activity.
Canada holds the third position among the countries most addicted to AI, getting a rate of 4.8M AI interactions. In total, Canadians use artificial intelligence 2 billion times annually, more than both Australia and the Netherlands. More people are interested in specialized AI tools rather than general use, amounting to 2.4% of all AI queries, twice as many as in Australia.
The United States takes fourth place, with the highest total traffic to AI platforms. In just one year, A in the US was used 16.4 billion times, 14 billion more than any other country in the world. AI tools account for 20% of all traffic, the highest share on the list. Even with a large population, the U.S. maintains a high AI interest per capita, at 4.7M AI interactions, just slightly behind its neighbor, Canada.
The United Kingdom rounds out the top five countries most engaged with AI, with an AI usage rate of 3.5M. People are turning to AI frequently, totalling 2.4B queries for the artificial intelligence annually, placing the UK among the countries with the most intense AI use. A significant portion of this traffic comes from AI tools, accounting for 3% of visits.
Germany holds sixth place, posting the second-highest total traffic on AI platforms. Logging 2.6B uses, it sits just behind the United States in overall engagement. The country also shows strong reliance on AI tools, which account for 3.18% of all visits, twice the amount seen in Australia.
Spain comes in seventh on the list of the most AI-addicted countries. AI activity here is very similar to Australia’s, at 1.4B, while specialized AI tools make up 1.77% of all interactions with the artificial intelligence. With a population of 48M, this results in 3 million AI uses per capita, reflecting high reliance on AI apps and services.
France takes eighth place, rounding out the European countries, averaging a rate of 2.9M AI interactions. While ranking just below Spain, France surpasses it in total visits to artificial intelligence platforms, reaching 1.9B. The French also show greater reliance on AI tools, which account for 2.4% of all usage, even higher than Canada’s share.
Peru stands ninth, with an AI usage rate of 2.6M. It is the only South American country on the list, registering 926M total AI visits, nearly 10M more than the Netherlands, which ranks second. Peru also shows higher dependency on AI tools, with 1.15% of consumption coming from these services.
Malaysia ranks tenth among the countries most addicted to AI, finishing off the list with a rate of 2.4M AI interactions per 100K people. Total visits to artificial intelligence platforms reach 888M, just behind Peru, while AI tools account for 1.09% of all usage.
A spokesperson from Eskimoz commented,
“AI is no longer a niche tool, it’s becoming a daily part of how people work, learn, and entertain themselves. The sheer scale of engagement across countries shows that both individuals and businesses are increasingly relying on these technologies. Understanding usage patterns helps highlight where AI is integrating most deeply and where support, education, and responsible adoption strategies are needed.”
